Emergency Scaffold Services – Canopy and facade restoration

March 4, 2014

Here's the deal. Nobody likes to hear the word emergency. Not even us at Superior Scaffold. But the truth of the matter is that life does happen and we can help. Sometimes things just wear out or a truck backs into something or water leaks in. But when it happens to your building, property or project we are there. We are one of the few scaffolding companies that have an emergency services line set up just for this type of event. (215) 743-2200. And in most times we can be onsite within hours assessing the situation and implimenting a plan to...

How to erect a canopy – Aramark Tower, Philadelphia

February 21, 2014

by Superior Scaffold

It's not every day that you get to see just how we erect a sidewalk shed (canopy). We usually concentrate on the finished product and how well the client liked our work. But today is another story. You get to see just what it looks like before, during and after we install overhead protection on a job site. We are going to look at the work done in the middle of one of Center City's busiest intersections at 11th and Market - the Aramark Tower. Crews usually start at night to avoid the massive traffic that will ensue during the daytime. In this...

Superior Scaffold hangs a whopper of a job at Seneca Niagara Casino, Niagara Falls, NY

November 21, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

This is a monstor of a job. We promised some photos and since we, at Superior Scaffold, keep our promises - here they are. It's hard to believe that this all hangs 40 feet ABOVE the entire gaming room floor while people are hustling and bustling about underneath. They sit above the interior that is the size of 2 full length football fields. These wings or fingers are 300 and 400 feet long! What this project entails is getting crews up underneath the ceiling while the casino remains open for business as usual so they can get the...

Philadelphia Inquirer reports Superior Scaffold to erect Canopy at Amtrak’s 30th St. Station

August 20, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

Superior Scaffold will provide 10-foot-high canopies around the gigantic 30th Street Station. This is no small feat. (Look at the photos) In fact, this is Amtrak's 3rd largest station - it's huge. The renovation will take several years to complete at a cost of $60 milliion. The scaffolding will be erected to not only protect pedestrians but allow business as usual during a planned restoration of the limestone facade of the 80-year-old neo-classical building. The Philadelphia Inquirer (philly.com) reported the story Aug 17, 2013 and quoted our very own man about town, Pat McAndrew (of the naked, fighting McAndrew clan) who...

Scaffolding support for Riddle Memorial Hospital $16.5M emergency department expansion

August 13, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

Riddle Memorial Hospital has embarked on two-year expansion designed to increase its emergency-room capacity by 60 percent. The two-phase project is anticipated to cost $16.5 million and will expand the emergency room by 4,000 to 5,000 square feet. Riddle has 33,000 visits annually to the emergency department. The hospital, which was built in the 1960's, was made to only accommodate 25,000 to 28,000 visits so this is a much needed expansion. The restructuring caused the admissions and registration area to be relocated to the east of where it is now, and the main hospital entrance to move west. So the call...

August 9, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

They said it couldn’t be done. They said it was too far away. They said it was too costly. But they were wrong.

And as part of the massive redesign the Casino is investing $6 Million toward a new HVAC system to greatly improve the air quality throughout the entire casino. This will be the first major renovation of the original casino since it turned the old Niagara Falls Convention Center into...

March 21, 2013

by Superior Scaffold

In the heart of Philadelphia sits an incredible treasure - the Temple Performing Arts Center. Purchased in 1974 by Temple University the Baptist Temple was designated as historic and a landmark building. It underwent an extensive remodeling and has since hosted many great performing artists.
